My Chemical Romance shouldnt be inducted. All they are is a stupid aprt of these scene that everyone likes to call Rock N Roll. Its not. Rock N Roll was GnR, who lasted a long time. Id be surprised if anyone even recognized the name My Chemical Romance in a few years.

Well, MCR is doing well right now and unlike imitators like PATD, are talented. It's really tough to put them under a genre, so just call them alternative. They have the best chance right now of making the hall of fame, but they still got work ahead.

And i'm the 3rd commenter here...I thought there would be a war...probably is coming in the near future...

I think My Chemical Romance defintley deserve this. For the second dude who commented, yes, when they started out, they were apart of the "scene", but since then they have advanced above it, ove comrades still stuck behind like Fall out Bot (no offense to them). Their music is so mature and they deserve this over the other applicants in their category.

I think that My Chemical Romance is a band that should be looked up to.
Not only are they shaping the rock genre from MANY bands, they actually have a message to send to people.
They're saving people's lives.
They are a band that has taken risks and changed their sound more than once, the genre going from alternative, to emo, to goth rock, to harcore, and they never let any of these labels hold them down.
A lot of bands get influence from them, not only with their sound, but the message they send people, and their attitude toward the "rock n roll" scene.

I think that they deserve to be remembered from now, because they made an impact on many people's lives.

You are VERY correct.
They were true rock n roll.
OF THEIR TIME.
Notice that's why MCR is up for 2027.
Just like MEtallica was big in the 80's but now they're up for induction in the new milenium.

My Chemical Romance has had a great impact on rock music today. They are turning out to be a modern day Metallica. Not the "Oh yeah, those guys are sick" but they're similar as in to where when people hear a Metallica song they're like "Hey, that's Master of Puppets."
That's what's happening to My Chemical Romance. They've created such a unique sound and their vocals are always fresh so when you hear it it's like, "That's definately Vampires Will Never Hurt You."

My Chemical Romance has definately developed into a class A group going from the Teen Scene to a fully mature band. What they have done with "The Black Parade" has totally set them apart from their "scene" giving them room to expand their fan base (which is working very effectively) and to create a sound desirable to them. What they have right now is great and I encourage them to build upon what they have.

And as stated above.
They save lives.
They are not "the norm" when it comes to rock bands.
Groupies are a negative.
They are spreading a positive message in their words and while most ignorant people who never take the time to listen to them declare it as "emo-emo go cut yourself" music, they are just to close-minded to take the time to open up and hear what someone has to say.

MCR so deserves this... I am actually listening to 'Thank you for the Venom' right now. Like said in the above comment, MCR saves lives. I have contemplated suicide and listening to MCR always cheers me up. And I know personally it has helped many of my friends in the same way.

My Chemical Romance has had an impact on many people's lives, not only on saving lives, but inspiring people. their music is so incredible and "The Black Parade" really proves that.
if you've ever listened to "Bullets", then "Revenge, then "the Black Parade" in order one after another, you can see how much they've changed. compare "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" to "I'm Not Okay". and compare "I'm Not Okay" to "Welcome to the Black Parade".

they have a sound all of their own. those three songs you can hear, and immidiately say, "this is My Chemical Romance."

this band has left a huge impact in today's society. even if you don't appreciate their music, you need to realize that. they have helped suicidal teens confront their demons and have helped many other teens in self-discovery. the hall of fame is made for bands like these, those bands which leave an impact in the world around them and change people forever. therefore they deserve this. yes they were influenced by many bands, but i'd like you to name 5 bands that never had atleast one influence to their work.
think about it.

I like a lot of MCR songs, but they are fakes. They do not play in concert worth crap. Every concert Ive been too and seen on tv, I didn't know which song they played because i couldn't understand them.

My Chemical Romance needs to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. They started in basements and worked their way to the top. Their music is real and incredible. Oh and I've seen MCR 7 times, and they are amazing every time.

MCR, I personally couldnt think of a band more worthy candidate of being entered into the Hall of Fame.
There's no other band around at this moment in time that sounds like them.
They've developed this epic, huge sound on The Black Parade that hasn't been seen since Queen's Night at the Opera, or Pink Floyd's The Wall (both of which inspired The Black Parade)
These boys have worked extremley hard to get to the point they are at today, and I have no doubt with the amount of work and effort they put into this band, not just with the records, but with touring, interviews and taking their time out to meet and talk with fans, that this band has so much more left to give.
Their live shows aren't something to be sniffed at either. I've seen them 4 times and they just keep getting better. The energy and feeling of ecstasy they create when they play live is something that no other band, in my experience, has been able to replicate. Even in a festival setting their energetic and cathartic stage show is one of the best around.
Theyve been having a rather interesting relationship with the press as of late. They challenge peoples opinions and perspectives. People just cannot decide whether to love them or hate them. And thats all there is with this band, you either adore them or loathe them. This 'War on Emo' battle that was started by the likes of that ridiculous Daily Mail article and continued by NME has painted MCR in some very unfair lights. But the bands collective intelligence has seen them dismiss the comments and get back to talking about what really matters, the music.
My Chemical Romance has a fanbase unlike any other band. Their fans are loyal, devoted, loving and very protective of their band. I've never seen anything quite like it. As a huge MCR fan myself, I can honestly say the devotion and love Ive seen from fellow fans, restores my faith in the human kindness.
So theres just a few of the millions of reasons My Chemical Romance should be worthy of a spot in the Hall of Fame.

I think My Chemical Romance should be put in here because the songs all have heartful meanings and thats what reaches out to people. Thats also what keeps most the fans alive as well, i would know from my own near death experiance. if any band should be put in here, its definatly them. They never told their fans to be any one but themselves an the music has never failed to be from their hearts. My chemical romance should be in the Hall Of Fame

definitely not. they're popular at the moment only because that genre of rock is what's cool amongst the kiddies at the time. their music is something the majority of their fanbase will grow out of, and i highly doubt their band is one that'll be remembered.

My Chemical Romance truley deserve this. They've always been a band that challenged themselves, and did the best they could. They're apart of the "scene" because of their fans, not because of them or their music.

They are a band with a message, with a meaning. They are a band that set out to save lives, and they actually have. Their musical talent is amazing, the organisation of the songs, everything, it gives me chills when I listen to it.

They are a band worth remembering, because unlike so many other bands, they are constantly trying new things. Just because they're theatrical and over the top doesn't make them a bad band. It just makes them anal xDD

As for being boring and bad live, well I've seen My Chemical Romance live ten times. Yeah, ten times. And I can't get enough of seeing them live, they're just so fantastic. Even though the first time I saw them it was their first show in my country, supporting Green Day in an arena, and they were at the end of their tour and utterly exhausted, they were still incredible. They were compelling.

As for saying their music is something their fanbase will grow out of, well I loved them before they got massive. I loved them when I thought all other "scene bands" were shit. I love them now more than ever, because their music is amazing, and they're just incrdibly genuine people.

It's in my experience that the biggest My Chemical Romance fans are the ones that aren't "scene" or "emo" at all. They're the ones who have the wide music tastes, the ones that defy all genres.

I think My Chemical Romance has had a positive impact on our youth. If you actually had time to talk to the genuine fans, you'd know it. They've saved lives and continue saving them, and they promote very very positive messages.

Don't listen to the idiotic media when they say it's all a "death cult" and "emo scene". It's nothing like that, and if you gave them a chance you'd know they definitely deserve to be inducted.

My Chemical Romance is an innovator in the rock music industry, unlike Panic or fall out boy. their music has saved many lives, including mine, and many people can testify to it,as seen at: [http://www.mylivingromance.urli.net/]. their sound is violent yet beautiful and they do make sense. its not about overrated love, sex or anything that most rappers and poseurs sing about.

Their my favorite band but still not led zepplin I think fall out boy is more hall of fame but I'm still voting for my chemical romance and I've only heard like 5 of their songs not even and fall out boy has been on like 5 million magazine covers like spin and rolling stones so their more than worty still screaming own =)

My Chemical Romance deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...DEFINITELY!!!

GIVE THEM THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE!!!

They have a realness to their music, they're raw. Im sick of people slagging them off by saying they're negative and they wont last. Granted, they wont last forever but they will last a long time! And how can a band who are negative save so many peoples lives (mine included)?! They have a message to those who choose to listen and it's a message worth hearing. They struggled to get where they are today and I hope they have many more years of success.

If My Chem dont make it into the Hall...There's something seriously wrong with the world

this is their no.1 fan and know one knows them more than i do and i will would like to say that they are one of the greatest rock/punk band in the world and that is my comment to those that will be reading this message and if i sound cocky then i am sorry but nit is true that i am their no.1 fan and no one can tell me different so thet are the best band in the world and on the lists of band names thank you

their songs are very heartful and that is great in a band but some people do not know what their music means and alot of people like me and a few of those people out there in all different parts of the world thier music has saved many lives including mine but that is what they are all about they can't stop giving that is a good thing in a band like this very one not many people won't to listen but if they keep on giving then i will still keep on buying as many cds and dvds and books as they bring out in to this world at this time when that time comes around for me and all their fans they are bringing out the best music ever been brought out and the people that are buying and listening are the best people ever been born in to this world the black perade and three cheers of sweet revenge has made make the best decision of my life so please my chemical romance dont stop now no matter any one says to you we will not ever stop loving your music xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Everything that I wanted to say has been said. Of course they'll make it into the Hall. Their rabid(and I mean it as a compliment, it includes me, too) fans would DEMAND that they have a spot. And to all you haters who say they'll be gone soon....didn't you say that before "The Black Parade" came out?

my chemical romance is...ug...just amazing. only the people who been through enough to see right through the lyrics and see the whole picture are true fans.
when I was a few years younger and saw the band on a bus poster, I didn't know what to think of the freaky guy with the black hair and scary band members. I deffinatly found out what I wanted to know when I was debating on what life was about. I discovered mcr and was instantly amazed. this band felt everything I did, except I couldn't describe...
so, mcr saves someone again. and proves to teens everywhere that there is someone feeling what they do...and gives them hope. my chemical romance of all bands should be put into this hall of fame because they are so original. plus, this gerard way guy (who discovered is adorable) and his brother (jjust as cute) keep it real enough for them to be people I look up to.

MCR ARE THE BEST AND YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THEY HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON ALOT OF PEOPLES LIVES. AND IN A FEW YEARS EVERYONE WILL REMBER THEM.BECAUSE PEOPLE LOOK UP TO THEM. AND THEY DESERVE TO BE IN THE ROCK HALL OF FAME!

MCR, along with all this emo crap and their fans, need a good smack to the face. People hate emo's (especially me) MCR ripped off the Misfits and claim to be this "great rock band". Bull. if even one emo band gets in, I am really going to be pissed.

This "pretending to be someone else" gimmick is pretty lame and easy to see through. Maybe if you read more growing up you'd have the patience to scroll through what I've already written and see where I said that MCR aren't emo in the first place.

I can tell this ones going to be quite a fight. Cause a lot of people hate MCR. But as a huge fan, I think they deserve it.
But thats only judging on their first 3 albums.
Who knows, the next few may suck so bad that they'll fade faster than bad hair dye.
So I don't think it can really be determined so early in their career.
True, they've been around for 6 years, and made a lot of impact on a lot of people (mostly teenyboppers who lack lives), but considering how long people like Led Zeppelin have been around and still remain famous...It just depends on how well My Chem does with their next few albums.
But for now, yes.
Rant over.

My Chemical Romance ROCK.
In both ways.
They aren't emo, and commenter above me, how the frick can they be pop if they are 'emo' as you say? They don't classify themselves as emo, and I am a huge fan - I'm not an emo.
They kick butt.
:)

Ok let me try to make this as short as possible.
My Chemical Romance Deserves this! They have made
a huge impact on music! Their music helps people
go through everyday things. They Save Lives, They Give Hope, and They make you happy! And To all of you people that think that MCR is EMO you are compltely wrong ! They are unique different and innovating ! If you say tha you don't like MCR
your lying your probably singing one of their songs in your head right now.

Liam, whats the deal with trying to reduce art / music to mathematical equations? Also, if you had a clue: 2 + 2 = 4. Last time I checked, 4 is different than two. Point is, what is wrong with being influenced by two or more bands?

Not at all looking for a fight - merely pointing out how stupid your thought process is at times. Anyone can take almost any band (i.e. even Oasis) and then plug some prior bands in to create some cheesy mathematical equation...what's the pointt?

And fuck off to the MCR fangirls/boys who think that listening to "Tonight, Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins on Youtube makes them cool. And fuck off for the Billy/Gerard look a like comments. Just fuck off, MCR will fall off the map, along with the so called emo scene.

Come on people, it's not about only the fans. A band deserves to be inducted when people that aren't fans think thry sound fine. MCR are just a fad and you will grow up to hate yourselves for loking this music.
Just wait and see, you'll be sorry for spending your youth listening to this shit when you could've listened to Black Dice, Lightning Bolt, Cartola, Madvillain, Do Make Say Think.

Come on, if you like the artists already in the Hall Of Fame then you don't like MCR crap. And if you listen to the inductees you'll notice that the Hall of fame is not about saving lives and crying all the time, it's about good timeless music, not emo fads.

Rock and roll, the genre, died in the 70s; rock and roll, the era, is still alive. Therefore, GnR was never a 'rock and roll' band in terms of what type of music they make. Likewise, MCR isn't a 'rock and roll' band under these terms, neither.

However, both bands will be inducted. Gnr will be inducted first nomination; MCR, years after they are eligible.

QUOTE = "My Chemical Romance shouldnt be inducted. All they are is a stupid aprt of these scene that everyone likes to call Rock N Roll. Its not. Rock N Roll was GnR, who lasted a long time. "

Please, name one band amongst today's music who even resemble GnR's style. No? Because music CHANGES all the time MY CHEM have also had a part in this change. If you don't recognise this, then maybe you should call yourself an expert and flame at a perfectly great band.

MCR deserve to be inducted. If you don't have a good reason for them not to be, then please, don't bother numbing my brain with your stupidity.

they can be as emo as you want them to be, their music can be as shitty as you want it to be, but no matter what they're still probably THE MOST infuential band in the EMO scene, and before the black parade they actually had some good music...

MCR is probably the most popular band of the century they've done so much like saving lives(and that's really important). The other bands that are out like PATD,Paramore(dont know how to spell it not a fan),ect. they have not done as much as MCR. MCR has sold millions of albums of each one that they produced and yes i will admit that they're lyrics and music is emo but the lyrics are really about their life experiences. But I say that we give them a chance but wait until the come out with a little more albums they only have 3 and their most recent one was The Black Parade released in october of 2006.So give them a chance they can become something really big.

I think it's to soon to tell, I mean they have only a few albums out. I think they're pretty good (i'll never admitt it, i'm a punk fan), Teenagers has even been called the Smells Like Teen Spirit of the 21st century, I would say that is big.

Um..... No. Radiohead, Coldplay, White Stripes. Yeah... that's good music. My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! at the Disco can all go die in a hole. And for all of you saying they are "Above" The status of PATD and FOB, yeah, they may be above the status of crap, so what does that make them? Toilet? They are terrible, they will die in the mist of the new millenium. The White Stripes, Radiohead, Eminem, Coldplay. They will rise above and be remembered for generations to come. No one will care about My Chem.

Seriously. If you have got nothing better to do with your time than bash "piss-poor pop-punk bands", and then suddenly have a revelation and decide they are prime candidates, I suggest you get a hobby. I hear taking long walks off short piers is becoming increasingly popular.

And, emo was a genre between '85 and '95. There is a reason it lasted only ten years, there is a reason it was unpopular, and in case you haven't yet noticed, your highly prized Sunny Day Real Estate is a part of that genre.

Classic example of not being intelligent enough to realize that our words will come back to haunt you in the form of someone that is.

Moving on to the topic of whether or not My Chemical Romance is Hall of Fame inductee worthy, I say they are perfectly good candidates. They've produced highly impacting music on a large portion of the youth of America. They seem to speak directly to the teenagers they once were, and the number of those teenagers seems to be on the rise. I, for one, am a supportive fan of the band and believe that they have the potential to become even more than they already are.

Hell yeah Deathmetalrules! Obituary! Now that's a band that wrote truthfully about the depth of the human experience! Right on, bro! Wasn't that guitar solo in Rotting Ways totally complex and awesome!??

...All sarcasm aside...

MCR? No, probably not. Any chance they might have depends on their staying power. Frankly, the band is part of a genre of music that people should grow out of once they reach a certain age (college?).

GNR was not rock and roll. Gnr is the most overrated band in history. Axl sounds like a dying rodent when he sings. They're sound is terrible and annoying.Real music is my chemical romance. They are influenced by actual bands like iron maiden, the misfits, and black flag. Those bands are legendary . GNR is generic radio rock and they are so overplayed .Screw GNR!

MCR should certainly be in the Hall of Fame. They deserve it. They are definetely influential. I've read at least 70% of the comments on this page and what is it with people thinking MCR is emo? If you are thinking "emo" music genre, that was around 80's through mid 90's. If you are thinking about "emo" as go cut your wrists, MCR does pretty much the exact opposite of what some of the people think on this page. MCR influences potential suicidal teens to keep their life. They DO NOT influence suicide at all. MCR is still young and plans on making more albums. I am just interested to see two generations of rock in the HoF by 2027. You get to see Pink Floyd and then (hopefully) a band inspired by Pink Floyd. (you know black parade was inspired by the wall and all that) By 2027, they should be one of the top candidates.

If you are thinking "emo" music genre, that was around 80's through mid 90's.

--------------------------------------------------
No offense meant here, cause I know you feel you'd like to see MCR in the Rock Hall. Someday in the future they might in fact end up there.

That being said, I think perhaps you've got those dates wrong. Matter of fact, you've pretty much encapsulated everything prior to "emo" in those dates...

Every band has their time. Just like Guns and Roses had theirs. I'm pretty sure that during their career, they had a lot of haters, just like MCR. but the bands that deserved to be inducted are the ones that prove the haters wrong. MCR has had a good ten year run, and I have a feeling they're going to have at least another ten years up their sleeve. They definitely aren't Hall of Fame material right now, but by 2027 they will

I seriously think people hugely underestimate mcr's music and the influence they've had on people. I can't tell you how many musicians and artists I know who are in awe of them. And I don't mean "kiddies". besides, how come someone liking something as an adolescent make it less good and valid? Do all these people forget that 99.9% of the things inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame they probably liked and were passionate about as teenagers? There is nothing wrong with that. Those ages are when you begin to cement your personality, and figure out who you are and in fact, it is usually the things you like as a adolescent that stay with you. So the very fact that they are popular among ze youngsters I think actually make them more likely to have staying power..,lmao.
All the haters...you just don't get them. You are blind as bats if you can't understand what good artists they are. but I'll tell you this much: if a single band can make people so passionately hateful that they search for them on the future rock and roll hall of fame page just to give negative comments...I think that they're pretty successful in what they're doing. Art that doesn't inspire passion on both sides of the spectrum is bad art. You are belying the very notion that they are a bad or unremarkable band by being here to spread all you negatively...it brings a smile to my face :P

My Chemical Romance's music not only has a message, but they intend to save people's lives, and I have seen examples throughout my life.
To all people who call them "stupid", "emo", or any similar words, probably it is due to them not accepting new music.
Rock has been reeinvented with time. They, as well, have been influenced by many great rock bands. To anyone who says MCR is not rock, this is the new rock.
In their albums, they experimented with their style, but they have remained true to what they want.
All of the stereotypes and close-minded people shouldn't influence in the choosing of this group in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They truly deserve it, as they have poured their heart and soul in their music, and have rocked with it.

I believe My Chemical Romance should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Not only have they created great music and have saved and helped many people through their lyrics, but each time they made a new record it always had so much that was put into it. Everything they did included so much inspirational and artistic material. There wasn't anything they did that didn't have a story or thought process behind it. They have truly given something to this world and deserve to be put in the Hall of Fame.

I honestly think, that with all my heart and soul, MCR should be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. Not only because of their music but also because of their purpose and wide range of influence on other people. They're very much different compared to the main stream artists out there and they themselves knew that and embraced that fact. I also think a huge reason as to why they should be included is because they started the band with a purpose. While other bands would say something along the lines of, "We're just a couple of normal guys who wanted to make music," MCR was a bunch of outcasts who turned to music when they wanted to make something significant out of their lives, and used it as a medium to get through to fans who experienced the same things they did. Although I agree that they weren't the best of all rock bands, nor the most long-running ones, and that not all of their songs were hits, their music although branching out to several different music genres, all had a stamp of quality to them that made them truly MCR. (And to be honest, none of their songs was shit so kudos to them.) No matter what age or musical preference or race of the audience they always managed to reach out to people, not only through their music but the messages written in each and every one of their songs. They were great at what they did while it lasted, and I'm glad they ended with a bang rather than being left out to rust.

They had the drive, and the talent, and the purpose to save people's lives. I think it's safe to say they deserve a ticket into the Hall of Fame.

They're talented, none of their songs are shit, and although contrary to what majority of the world would call rock and roll, they've definitely made their mark in the world of music and though a lot of people would say not all their songs are hits or fall under the genre "Rock" (since they are known to perform under various musical genres), all of them had great messages to the audience that listened to them to serve as a channel to save people's lives through their music. How long they've lasted and how many hits or awards they've won don't mean much compared to the influence they had to their listeners.

Thank you for your comments, Andrea. I had the pleasure of seeing Gerard & the boys twice. Both times great shows. Hope you get to see him perform someday.

As far as Hall, I personally would say no or that they would be inducted when they are all quite old. Now if they got back together & released at least 2 more great albums (like The Black Parade), then that would be a different story. have fun in The Phillipines!!

MCR definitely deserves this. The fanbase, for better or for worse, has made the name timeless. The band will and already has gone down in history. Gerard way is still a commonly known name. My Chemical Romance has influenced many great bands, including (but not limited to) Panic! at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, and Twenty One Pilots. My Chem also influenced how music should be presented and their music videos were revolutionary. The same guy who worked on Nirvana and Green Day's videos worked on many of theirs. About their breakup, it was in no way "not rock and roll". Gerard broke them up because he was slipping into alcoholic habits again and whenever he did, Mikey seemed to follow the same path. He split them up for everyone's sake and it was time.
